What we obtain from any computer program is a prediction of the model. If the
program is stable (logical) and if it passed the calibration tests, then its
predictions will be compared with the external reality. We remind here that
the assembly of all predictions of a symbolic model is called reality
associated to the model.
It is not at all surprising that, in the same way as with the brain, terms as
truth or reality can be associated to a computer program, with the definitions
from MDT theory of the brain. The reason is easily understandable: we extend
to the exterior our own structure of models of the brain. Seems to be
impossible to do anything except this!
The above statement is interesting also under another aspect. Thus, no
connection exists between the basic functions of the brain and a computer.
However, we use computers to extend to the exterior the functions of our
brain.
MDT makes a few predictions that are very difficult to accept. The educational
system is based on assimilation of image and symbolic models, and verifying of
the assimilation in specific tests.
This method has a problem. Based on the theory, those who have abilities to
assimilate models have reduced qualities in building new models. The problem
is related to the fact that the level of consciousness depends on the capacity
to build new models. Thus, school has the tendency to promote individuals with
reduced level of consciousness.
MDT shows that there are people knowledge-oriented and action-oriented. The
action-oriented are not favourised by the educational system, and the ones
oriented to knowledge are overappreciated. The action-oriented people move the
society forward, and the educational system does not understand this many
times.
The theory defines schizophrenia as the incapacity to build and operate long-
range models. Long-range models are required not only for the formation of
consciousness but also for the prediction of problems that might occur in the
future. The schizophrenic method is to solve the problems as they appear, one
step at a time. An 'elaborate' form of schizophrenia is called pragmatism.
The normal way of interaction with external reality is to have long-range
models associated with the external reality. These models can predict the
occurence of future problems which can be prevented before their appearance.
Here is the English version of my book "Creierul o Enigma Descifrata" (in
Romanian) which is also available in the frame of Gutenberg Project. I want to
thank to Dr. Angela Vasilescu and Adrian Moisa for their help in the
translation.
BIBLIOGRAPHY
There is no specific bibliography. MDT is a fundamental theory.
That is, all the terms and all the definitions of them are generated by the
model. No book can be used because in any book there are used terms with
definitions which are not compatible with MDT's terms and definitions.
